Polish Tax Authorities will be entitled to turn to their counterpart in the another EU country, and to ask them to collect the underpaid or unpaid taxes, customs duties, other fees or local taxes (levied by local governments). Using of a assistance of a foreign tax institution will be possible, if the total amount of outstanding taxes or other fees is equivalent to at least 1500 EUR.
